The American Revolution and all of this happens because of King George the Third .Everyone was so mad that they didn't want him to be king and the people just turned against him for becoming the king. They called it the American Revolutionary War. when the civil war was done people were thinking that we don't need to fight each other and themselves. They made a British army that lasted for four-hundred years . Back then, the French loved cheese and also thought that they can make a ship out of cheese. Then it is also true that the British have their own tracking record thing for three centuries . And it had never even got lost before since 1948 Palestinian civil war. Also the British army had lost to a group of Jews like resulting an Israeli independence.Muslims also got mad about it. The British are not that big of a group of army, but they like to make it up on television in front of their enemies. once the channel falls the British are going to be in big trouble . The other parts of British were vikings they tought the french how to build a ship without using cheese.The British Army during the colonial times were known as redcoats, lobsterbacks, and regulars because the army’s uniform’s main color was red . The actual purpose of these uniforms was to look good after the soldier was shot, and it made the British army easier to spot and a good target to shoot at. The commanders of the army during that time included General Sir William Howe, General Burgoyne, General Edward Braddock, General Benedict Arnold after he betrayed the Americans, and General Sir Henry Clinton. In 1770, King George the Third was worried about the control of the colonists, so he sent troops of Redcoats to America to put Massachusetts under martial law. Even though Great Britain was considered to be the strongest nation in the world, the lost to the colonies because the British did not know the terrain of America and were experts in face-to-face combat; the Americans were taught by the Native Americans to fight from behind rocks and trees and Great Britain was no prepared for this kind of combat.
